From his earliest Super 8 works to the most recent video projects Ross Harley has been decoding visual language. Starting with the tropes of horror films and the grammar of architecture, through to furniture and interior design of the 1950 and 60s to the exterior world of parks, petrol stations, highways and airports, Harley has used film and video to investigate social meaning, subjective association and the constellation of interconnections between life, image and sensation.
